A complete university education must go beyond the acquisition of technical and academic knowledge. For this, it is necessary to seek comprehensive training, because it is a way to prepare students not only for the professional field, but also to face the ethical, social and personal challenges that arise throughout life.
Keep reading to learn about the 5 dimensions that make up this holistic training and how at Anáhuac Querétaro we apply them.
1. Academic dimension
The academic dimension tries to provide students with knowledge about the different disciplines of knowledge. It promotes the use of reason and the construction of understanding through specialized informationso that students apply what they have learned to shape themselves and practice their profession.
To this end, it is important that institutions efficiently plan their subjects, implementing innovative teaching methods, as well as educational technology, so that the learning opportunity is enhanced.
At our university we seek comprehensive training, through academic excellence and the construction of relevant knowledge for students, implementing the educational innovations that have emerged in recent years.
2. Personal dimension
This dimension is made up of two parts, first, the emotional axis, which considers emotions as a piece valuable for the learning processsince these are intrinsically related to the motivation to studydecision making regarding the academic field and meaning of what was learned on a personal level.
On the other hand, the second axis to take into account is the ethical-spiritual. Through this, the student will be able to give a personal and healthy meaning to the issues of his existence, in addition to adopting responsible behavior towards the community.
The support of students during their professional career is essential to take care of their personal development, which is why on our campus there is the Student Assistance Center (CAE) to support students with problems related to the university and their emotional well-being.
In addition, we periodically celebrate other integration activities such as Getting to Know Querétaro, Foreign Day, the Eucharistic Hour and Un granito de ADEFA.
3. Social dimension
Another dimension of comprehensive training is the social one, which is based on the idea that the human being does not develop individually, but that it is necessary to relate to other people to be able to develop completely, in addition to having the ability to transform to others and to change to your environment.
In this dimension, tolerance, community service and social responsibility are pillars to achieve ideal training, since individuals put into practice their empathy, respect and solidarity towards others, which generates a positive impact on all those involved.
Developing the social dimension can also be achieved through other activities, such as those we organize in Anáhuac Querétaro, whether collaborative projects, volunteering and the social service program.
4. Cultural dimension
Integrate the appreciation of culture in education, requires the promotion and respect for their diversityunderstanding it as part of human development within a community. This notion covers elements such as: values, ideas, customs and artistic manifestations.
Promoting culture for intellectual and personal growth is very necessary, since it has to do with the interaction of students, the way they interpret the world, and the construction of their identity.
To fulfill this purpose, at our university we are committed to the integrity of the community, offering students workshops artistic works that contribute to its development. The disciplines they cover are: visual arts, music and dance.
Likewise, in our spaces, students have the opportunity to interact and exchange ideas with classmates who belong to other cultural groups, or who have traits different from ours, due to our diversity of students and environment of respect.
5. Professional dimension
The formation of a life projectpreparing for a future job, setting goals and staying in a constant learning process They are part of the professional dimension, and it is relevant for the student because the contents of the degree are only a fraction of the knowledge that they will use in their future as a professional.
To promote the professional experience of our students, we have developed the professional internship program, with the aim of complementing theoretical teaching with practice.
With the help of this initiative, students have the opportunity to work in companies or organizations related to their field of study. We also offer a job board and job fairs.
